A breezy third round at the Open de España produced 22 sub-par rounds and a field average score of 72.88. Marc Warren leads on -8 with Craig Lee, David Horsey and Paul Waring following behind. We analyse how they did it plus we round up the Genworth Statistics leaders.

Marc WARREN -8

Marc Warren has converted more birdies than any other player in the field (17 in total). Looking at his Genworth Tournament Statistics, the 32 year old Scottish golfer has been steady from tee to green but his putting has really excelled. Marc ranks 2nd for Putts per GIR, 3rd for Putts per Round and 2nd for 1 Putts per Round, plus he ranks 1st for Par 3 Scoring with a 2.83 average.

Craig LEE -6

Craig Lee dropped two shots in the last three holes to give Marc Warren a little breathing space but he still makes it a Scottish one - two going into the final round. The 35 year old golfer has hit 40/54 Greens in Regulation and he ranks 1st for Par 5 Scoring with a 4.33 average. Craig is making lots of birdies and will be hoping to gain his first European Tour victory tomorrow.

David HORSEY -5

David Horsey took just 24 putts on his way to a third round 66 (the lowest round of the day), which shot him 40 places up the leaderboard into a tie for third. The 28 year old is in superb form of late with 6th and 2nd place finishes in his last two events. He leads the Par 4 Scoring with a 3.80 average and comparatively he has made very few mistakes over the tricky Parador de El Saler course.

Paul WARING -5

Paul Waring's Genworth Tournament Statistics highlight that he is hitting the ball long and straight. The 28 year old English golfer ranks 6th for Driving Accuracy (with 42/52 fairways hit) and 7th for Driving Distance (with a 291 yard average). Currently playing on a medical exemption, Paul is yet to record a top three finish on the European Tour, so a win tomorrow could do wonders for his golfer career.
